Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development Planning – Section 20005(b)

The Pilot Program for TOD Planning helps support FTA’s mission of improving public transportation for America’s communities by providing funding to local communities to integrate land use and transportation planning with a new fixed guideway or core capacity transit capital investment. Comprehensive planning funded through the program must examine ways to improve economic development and ridership, foster multimodal connectivity and accessibility, improve transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, engage the private sector, identify infrastructure needs, and enable mixed-use development near transit stations.

On December 18, 2018, FTA announced project selections that will receive a share of $16.6 million in FY2018 TOD Planning grants supporting comprehensive planning projects that improve access to public transportation.
